Eugene Yu, the CEO of the software firm Konnech, has been arrested in connection to the storage of data on servers in China.

"Yu, 51, was arrested early Tuesday just outside of Lansing, Mich., after prosecutors alleged he improperly stored the information on servers in China, according to Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón. Yu, who is the chief executive officer of a company named Konnech, is expected to be extradited to Los Angeles in the coming days, Gascón said," according to the LA Times.

"Konnech allegedly violated its contract by storing critical information that the workers provided on servers in China. We intend to hold all those responsible for this breach accountable," Gascón said.

"Prosecutors learned of the data breach this year through a 'separate investigation' undertaken by the district attorney’s office, according to Gascón. He would not say what the other investigation was or exactly when his office became aware of the breach," the LA Times reported.

Konnech issued a statement that read, in part: "We are continuing to ascertain the details of what we believe to be Mr. Yu’s wrongful detention by LA County authorities. Any LA County poll worker data that Konnech may have possessed was provided to it by LA County, and therefore could not have been ‘stolen' as suggested."

Made in China? A closer look at U.S. election software’s coders and patents

As recently as June 28 of this year, the Kanekoa report notes, a user named “Konnech_Shawn” posted on a software development recruitment site which brings Chinese engineers to the United States that Michigan’s Konnech Inc. was looking for engineers, business analyst, and product designers. The post says to contact, “hr@konnech.com”.

The report also discovered that the domain registrant for konnech.cn was “none other than Jinhua Yulian Network Technology Co. and the domain is linked to the email address eyu@konnech.com”.

The report continues: “Unbelievably, as recently as last Tuesday, the website for Hongzheng Technology Co., the software company which builds technology for China’s National People’s Congress, was still registered to the email address ‘admin@konnech.com’. Only yesterday [Aug. 19], the registrar’s email address was changed to ‘jiadeng@hongzhengtech.com’ ”.

The Fenetanyl War is a reverse of the Opium War. The Chinese view it as pay back.

Why we need Trump, badly.

[rlmorel]

Yes.

General Robert Spalding wrote an excellent book called “Stealth War: How China Took Over While America’s Elite Slept”.

In his position as JCS Cyber Expert with a position on the White House Natiional Security Council, he was nearly single-handedly responsible for scuttling the ChiCom implementation of 5G in the USA...and he lost his position on the NSC as a result for overstepping his authority.

I believe he has no regrets about his vocalizing the threat.

Great book.

This sort of thing explains why unpopular and even hated incumbents end up retiring instead of getting voted out of office.

I pray that the ‘good’ people are working diligently to defeat election fraud.

This arrest is nothing more than an attempt to cover-up data that could prove crimes in 2020. Now suddenly that data was handled by China so of course it is worthless. See how this works?

Is that a joke? Those can’t really be one day apart?

[cotton1706]

Not a joke.

BUT...But...but...I thought that MAGA Republicans were the greatest threat to “our democracy”

I've said all along that we need Trump, but the fact is, he's going to be merely a temporary reprieve. Unless this country experiences a cataclysmic epiphany unlike anything ever seen, we're finished.

And by then, the lazy, semi literate, stupid limp wristed cupcakes currently living in mom's basement, will be in charge.

I definitely can't imagine them doing the right things.

He would not say what the other investigation was or exactly when his office became aware of the breach," the LA Times reported.

Because it was probably going on during THE MOST SECURE ELECTION EVER.

A spokesman for Konnech told the Times that Konnech had handed over all poll worker data to the county, and that it "therefore could not have been 'stolen' as suggested."

A carefully worded statement that is true. They did not steal the data. Their deliberate violation of their contract made the data available to the Chinese Communist Party who stole the data. This deliberate action makes them an accomplice in the crime thus they stole the data.

this is a good news story.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS......

Proving once again the 2020 election WAS manipulated and rigged by the workings of the DOJ & FBI. Biden family's business associate Tony Bubulinski exposed the whole thing once again on Tucker Carlson Tuesday evening!

FELONIES WITHIN THE FBI!!

Just once I’d like to wake up to read that Hillary! has been arrested.

Is that too much to ask? *SMIRK*

However, I’ll take this WIN! PLEASE let it lead to something for a change. PLEASE!

The Communist Party of Democrats and the Chinese Communist Party are working hand in hand

Fourth topic about the arrest, so, not really “breaking”.
